Tired and sunburned, so I’ll keep it brief. Started the day with a hearty breakfast at the Union Street Diner where I enjoyed a concoction with a biscuit base topped with scrambled eggs topped with sausage gravy topped with cheese. Delicious. Hit the festival grounds by about 10:00 and planted our chairs at the main stage where we caught Samantha Crain before moving over to the Porch Stage where we saw an excellent show from Duke Jr. & The Smokey Boots. Then we headed back to the main stage where we saw a scorching set from Lydia Loveless. While her band broke down their equipment we snuck over to see Moon High before catching the end of Southeast Engine’s show. Those Darlins were scheduled to play again today, this time on the main stage, but evidently one of them suffered a broken arm last night and they were unable to play. In their stead we saw a nice bluesy/rocakbilly set from a fun band called Woody Pines. We settled in at the main stage for the rest of the evening where we saw fantastic shows from country music legends Billy Joe Shaver and Loretta Lynn. Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings capped off the evening with a dizzyingly energetic show of old-school soul.
